301 redirection scripts?

[Newt]

Hi,
I'm switching my content over to XF and would need to create (thousands of) redirects, but all in .htaccess is very bad for performance. I see there are redirection scripts for other forum platforms, but is there a way (or addon?) to set every 301, at least manually without using htaccess? Can't find any option.
Thanks.

You would need to write your own script if there isn't one available here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/redirection-scripts.2/

Well I'm moving from a blog and didn't find anything available on the RM.
Thanks though

Is there a XenForo to XenForo redirection script?

Why is .htaccess bad for 301s?

 

[Newt]

It's not bad for a few 301s, but since the file is processed for every request, having thousands of rules in it will impact performance.

Is there a XenForo to XenForo redirection script?

No.

The only scripts available (here) are those in the RM.

Bummer, okay, well. Time to dig up the old xenfans database and get my old xf2xf.sh script and update it to 1.5
